Patil, Sisodia, Pandey Return As Karnataka Name Squad For Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
Sharad Pawar BKC Academy Ground: Batters Rohan Patil, Luvnith Sisodia and Manish Pandey have returned to Karnatakas squad for the first three matches of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2026/27, the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) announced on Friday. Smaran R. will captain the side after returning from New Zealand, where hes with the India A red-ball team. Senior players Mayank Agarwal and Shreyas Gopal, who led Karnataka to victories in their last two Ranji Trophy matches as stand-in captain, have been left out. Both struggled in last seasons Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy -- Mayank scored 135 runs in seven games, while Shreyas made just 25 runs and took five wickets with his leg-spin. Pandey, who was named among the probables, returns to the senior side after two years. Patil and Sisodia make a return to the team after last playing T20 games for them in 2022. The tournament is a big opportunity for Manvanth Kumar L, who had a satisfactory outing in the first leg of the Ranji Trophy hitting two centuries and picking a three-for. A strong show in the shortest format could also put him in contention for an IPL contract after being a part of Delhi Capitals in the 2025 season. Karnatakas batting looks strong on paper, with Karun Nair, Abhinav Manohar and Smaran adding further depth. With so much firepower, the side will hope to do better this season. The bowling, however, is likely to decide how far Karnataka goes in the competition. Pacers Vyshak V, Vidwath Kaverappa and Abhilash Shetty will lead the seam attack. Spinners Shikhar Shetty and Ritesh Bhatkal will share the spin-bowling duties with leg-spinner Pravin Dubey. In Elite Group A, Karnataka will first take on Bengal on November 14, before facing Uttar Pradesh (November 16), Mizoram (November 18) and Jharkhand (November 20) at the Wankhede Stadium. Their remaining group games are against Chandigarh (November 22), Rajasthan (November 24) and Baroda (November 26) at the Sharad Pawar BKC Academy Ground.

BHEL targets Rs 3,000 crore profit; HMT factory to be revived soon: Kumaraswamy
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 6 (IANS) Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy on Friday said Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has set a target of achieving a profit of Rs 3,000 crore, while assuring that steps would be taken to revive the Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT) factory in Karnataka at the earliest. Speaking at the 71st Karnataka Rajyotsava celebrations organised by the BHEL Kannada Protection Committee at the company's premises in Vijayanagar, Bengaluru, Kumaraswamy said BHEL's profit had increased from around Rs 200 crore when he took charge as Union Minister for Heavy Industries to more than Rs 1,500 crore in the current financial year. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the growth of public sector industries under the Central government was encouraging, he said, adding that BHEL was among the strategic manufacturing establishments that had made significant progress and was now firmly moving towards profitability. I am happy to be part of the Karnataka Rajyotsava celebrations being held at an important industrial establishment like BHEL, he said. Highlighting the contribution of Central public sector industries to Karnataka's cultural heritage, Kumaraswamy said such establishments had become an integral part of the state's identity. He pointed out that Kannadigas had been given significant opportunities at BHEL and were occupying important positions, playing a leading role in policy formulation and administration. Recalling the difficult phase faced by BHEL, he said the company had once been heading towards a decline, but corrective measures had prevented further deterioration. From a profit of Rs 200 crore, BHEL has now crossed Rs 1,500 crore. We are working towards achieving a profit target of Rs 3,000 crore. I would like to credit this achievement not to ourselves but to the workers who have put in their hard work, he said. The factory currently employs around 24,000 people, and its workforce should double in the coming years, he added. Referring to HMT's revival, Kumaraswamy said four watches under the HMT Kannada series were released in Bengaluru on November 1, coinciding with Karnataka Rajyotsava. Earlier, HMT watches featuring the Gandabherunda, a symbol of Karnataka's rich heritage, had also been launched. He said the watches had received an encouraging response from Kannadigas and urged people to make HMT watches a part of their daily lives. Young people are standing in queues stretching for kilometres to purchase HMT watches. People across age groups are showing interest in buying and wearing them, he said. Kumaraswamy said efforts were underway to revive the HMT factory and several meetings had already been held to take important decisions in this regard. A committee headed by V.K. Saraswat, a member of the NITI Aayog, had been constituted and its recommendations had been received. A decision on the revival of the factory would be taken at the earliest, he said, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also given several important suggestions and directions on the matter. Padma Shri awardee Vijayalakshmi Deshamane, writer and presenter N.A. Someshwara, Rahul Devaraj and BHEL Kannada Protection Committee honorary president Sa. Ra. Govindu were among those present at the programme.

Ktaka: Youth Congress suspends six office-bearers over Delhi rally absence
Digital Desk | Haveri, Nov 6 (IANS) Six office-bearers of the Karnataka Pradesh Youth Congress (KPYCC), including Darshan Kumar Lamani, son of Minister for Sugar and Textiles and Haveri District In-charge Minister Rudrappa Lamani, have been suspended with immediate effect for remaining absent from party programmes held in Delhi. The national leadership of the Indian Youth Congress issued the suspension order on Friday, taking serious note of their repeated absence from organisational activities, including the Congress protest against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and the 'Sansad Chalo' programme organised in Delhi. The six office-bearers will remain under suspension until further orders. The leadership reportedly took the decision after observing that they had repeatedly failed to attend programmes and fulfil the responsibilities assigned to them. Those suspended include state secretaries Abdul Aziz, Suraj Avati, Pawan Salian and Abhishek C.; Haveri District Youth Congress president Darshan Kumar Lamani and Karwar District Youth Congress president Subrahmanya Sirsikar. Darshan Kumar Lamani was elected as the Haveri District Congress unit president through an organisational election. However, the party leadership took note of his failure to discharge the responsibilities entrusted to him and initiated disciplinary action. The suspension order was issued by KPYCC president Manjunath H.S., National Secretary and KPYCC co-in-charge Tarika Bhagwana, and Srinivas Rathod. The suspended office-bearers have been allowed to present their explanations before the party forum. It may be recalled that in November 2020, Darshan Lamani was detained and arrested by the Central Crime Branch (CCB) police in Goa along with two others, Hemanth Kumar and Suneesh, in connection with a synthetic drugs and darknet peddling case. His father, Rudrappa Manappa Lamani, represents the Haveri Assembly constituency, reserved for Scheduled Castes, in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly. He was elected unopposed as Deputy Speaker of the Assembly in July 2023 and has served in the post since then. He was inducted as the Minister for Textiles and Muzrai in the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government between 2016-18.

Govt launches Semicon 2.0 portal, clears 12 more electronics component projects worth Rs 7,503 crore
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 6 (IANS) Union Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday launched the Semicon 2.0 web application portal under the Semicon India Programme and announced the approval of 12 new applications under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), marking another push to strengthen India's semiconductor and electronics manufacturing capabilities. The launch follows the Union Cabinet's approval of Semicon 2.0 with a fiscal outlay of Rs 1.27 lakh crore under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM). The next phase of the programme is focused on six strategic pillars, including chip design, semiconductor equipment and materials, fabrication units, ATMP/OSAT facilities, research and development, and talent development. With the launch of the portal, applications have gone live for Pillars 2, 3 and 4, which focus on machines and materials, new semiconductor fabrication facilities, and further strengthening of the assembly, testing, marking and packaging ecosystem. Highlighting the progress made under the first phase of the programme, the government said 12 semiconductor projects with cumulative investments exceeding Rs 1.64 lakh crore have been approved across six states, with five of them already commencing commercial production as of October 2026. The semiconductor ecosystem has also expanded through startup and academic participation. According to the government, 105 startups have received access to Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, 24 startups have been supported through funding, while 15 startups have secured venture capital investments. In addition, 332 academic institutions have been provided EDA tools under the Chips to Startup (C2S) programme, helping train around 70,000 students. Alongside the Semicon 2.0 launch, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology approved 12 additional projects under ECMS involving projected investments of Rs 7,503 crore. The approved projects are expected to generate production worth Rs 39,045 crore and create 7,127 direct jobs. The latest approvals come after clearance of 106 applications involving investments of Rs 69,548 crore announced earlier under the scheme. The newly approved projects span components, supply chain products and capital goods. They include manufacturing of multilayer printed circuit boards, relays, heat sinks and specialty ceramics, as well as key supply-chain products such as copper foil, anode material, cathode active material, polypropylene film and camera rims. The projects are spread across Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh, expanding the geographical footprint of India's electronics component manufacturing sector. The government said the approvals include first-time support under ECMS for copper foil, cathode active material and specialty ceramics, broadening the range of electronics components and upstream materials being produced domestically. Speaking at the event, Vaishnaw said India's electronics manufacturing industry has moved beyond basic assembly operations and is increasingly building capabilities across modules, components, materials and advanced technologies. He noted that the country is developing strengths in areas such as battery cells, copper foils, copper-clad laminates and advanced printed circuit boards, while government schemes are creating opportunities for MSMEs.
Andhra Pradesh CM visits cyclone-hit Guntur, Bapatla districts
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Nov 6 (IANS) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday visited cyclone-affected areas in Guntur and Bapatla districts and assured assistance to all affected people. He conducted a field-level inspection of crops damaged and fields submerged due to the cyclone Murasu. The Chief Minister assured that a comprehensive assessment of the damage caused by the cyclones is underway, and pledged that the government would continue its efforts until every affected individual receives assistance. He stated that crop insurance and input subsidies would provide some relief to farmers by compensating for a portion of their lost investment. During his visit to Bapatla district, he walked from Jillellamudi to Returu village to personally understand the hardships faced by the farmers. CM Naidu spoke to farmers, officials, and public representatives along the way to assess the extent of the damage caused by the cyclone. He stopped frequently to engage in direct conversations with the farmers. Walking along the embankments of irrigation canals and field channels, the Chief Minister inspected the submerged paddy fields. He inquired about the investments made by the farmers, their projected yields, and the specific details of their losses. At the Jillellamudi bridge, the Chief Minister inspected the intensity of the floodwaters. Farmers and officials explained how the surge in the stream had caused surrounding areas to become submerged. In Returu village, the Chief Minister walked through the area to inspect paddy fields submerged in floodwaters. The farmers expressed their distress, explaining that they had cultivated their crops after receiving irrigation water through the Pattiseema project; however, just as they were anticipating a good harvest, a cyclone struck, causing severe losses. The Chief Minister inquired about the investments the farmers had made in their crops and whether they had secured crop insurance. It was explained that crop insurance and government input subsidies serve as a vital support system for farmers during natural disasters. Officials were instructed to raise greater awareness among farmers regarding crop insurance. Plans should be devised to ensure water is provided ahead of the regular cultivation season, allowing farmers to sow crops early and thereby reduce the risk posed by cyclones. It was noted that the completion of the Polavaram project would create further opportunities for early-season cultivation. Addressing people in Returu, the Chief Minister said that the state had suffered significant damage due to the cyclones. He expressed deep concern that these cyclones struck just as crops were ready for harvest, dealing a severe blow to the farming community. CM Naidu noted that farmerswho were already grappling with the effects of El Ninohad managed to cultivate their crops thanks to irrigation water provided via the Pattiseema project, but the recent cyclone caused extensive losses. He added that proactive measures taken by the government helped mitigate much of the potential damage. The cyclone had a particularly severe impact on the Guntur, Bapatla and Prakasam districts. He urged the public not to take cyclone warnings lightly and to remain vigilant whenever such alerts are issued. The Chief Minister noted that 30,000 electricity poles, which had fallen due to one cyclone, have been restored, while another 10,000 poles were damaged by a subsequent cyclone. He added that efforts are underway to rapidly restore power supply to aquaculture ponds. He further revealed that assistance is being sought from the states of Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu for cyclone relief operations. CM Naidu mentioned that the Central government has been kept informed about the impact of the cyclones, and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also inquired about the situation.
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 6 (IANS) Karnataka has sought around Rs 22,000 crore in drought relief from the Centre under the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) guidelines against an estimated crop loss of Rs 62,000 crore, Deputy Chief Minister and Revenue Minister G. Parameshwara said on Friday. Addressing the media near his residence here, Parameshwara, who is also the Revenue Minister, said the state government had submitted three memorandums to the Union government and sought appointments with the Prime Minister, Union Home Minister and Union Agriculture Minister to explain the drought situation. If appointments are granted, we will meet them with an all-party delegation. Otherwise, we will go under the leadership of the Chief Minister and submit our request, he said. The state had calculated its eligible relief requirement under NDRF norms, as the entire estimated loss could not be sought from the Centre, he added. Parameshwara said the government had released Rs 1,250 crore towards the first instalment of drought relief of Rs 2,500 per farmer through Direct Benefit Transfer. More than three lakh farmers in Yadgir district had reportedly received the assistance. Following an increase in the relief amount under Central guidelines, Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar had agreed to provide an additional Rs 2,500 per farmer. The additional assistance, requiring another Rs 1,250 crore, would be released within one week to 15 days, taking the total relief to Rs 5,000 per farmer, he said. The government had also allocated Rs 1 crore to each Assembly constituency and Rs 4 crore to Rs 5 crore to districts for drinking water arrangements and other essential works. On the proposed meeting with the Prime Minister, Parameshwara said the government had sought a separate appointment to discuss Karnataka's issues. The delegation would meet him in Delhi or Mysuru, depending on where an appointment was granted. Defending the government's decisions on recent increases in transport fares and milk and curd prices, he said all sections of society had to be considered while managing the state's finances. He cited the needs of drought-hit farmers, sugarcane growers, and government employees receiving Dearness Allowance. Responding to the BJP's criticism of the fare hike, he said rising petrol and diesel prices had also increased transport and agricultural costs. Fuel prices had been increased around 14 times since the BJP came to power at the Centre, he claimed, adding that farmers depended on diesel for tractors and other agricultural activities. He said the state's revenue position was better than last year, with good collections from commercial taxes, excise, and stamp and registration charges, and that government decisions were taken after assessing available resources.
